M4100 USB Console Cable
Hello, I need to access the USB console port of a M4100 and the USB Console Cable has been misplaced. Is there a way to buy one, or will any USB Mini-B cable work?
Thanks!
Matt
Hello Matt
Any USB Mini-B should work.

- Great, thank you!
So .. my boss is remote and needing to know how a standard Mini-USB cable and Putty can be used to console into this model switch. Is there a driver I need to download? Is there another software that is needed?
